Is it true that ISRAEL is the fifth largest exporter/maker of ARMS?

Question

Do they sell them to the Arabs? Or is it just to the Americans?
How much do of these arms have fallen in the hands of the former Yoguslavian and lets not forget Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Congo
What do you think?

Answer 1

No, it's the 7th. Interesting enough you single out Israel, and not any of the 6 countries on this list that export *FAR MORE* conventional arms than Israel... Any particular reason for that? (other than your blatant anti-semitism, obviously...)

#1 Russia $6,197,000,000.00
#2 United States $5,453,000,000.00
#3 France $2,122,000,000.00
#4 United Kingdom $985,000,000.00
#5 Canada $543,000,000.00
#6 Ukraine $452,000,000.00
#7 Israel $283,000,000.00
#8 Italy $261,000,000.00
#9 Sweden $260,000,000.00
#10 Netherlands $211,000,000.00

Answer 2

Yes well they do hold the rights to the Uzi. They manufacture it and many other weapons. Dont think they wouldnt sell them to some Arab states, the Arabs and others do sell them the oil to furl their tanks and aircraft so hehe its about money. Anyway the Balkans and Africa mostly got their weapons when the Soviet Union collapsed. But in the Balkans each member of former Yugoslavia had a separate military anyway, so dont get deeply into that.

Also the Isreali's make other weapons and design their ships themselves, they just get the big toys from the Yanks, like other countries, except in greater quantities.

Answer 3

Israel is the fifth largest military. While Israel makes some military hardware, they don't make helicopters and fighter jets and so on. Much of their weaponry comes from you and me if you happen to be American. Israel gets the weapons from the US gov't and the money for arms is given to companies like Lockheed and Boeing. It's a good little racket enabled by the American taxpayer.

Answer 4

israel was made into a state in 1945 the un decided to give the best land including jeruselum and bethlehem to the jews,kicked the arabs and palastines out of there own country into lebenon and a war started been war ever since. America is selling satelite guided misiles to israel and giving food aid to lebennon. as far as im aware russia and america are the largest suppliers of arms in the world .

Answer 5

Israel exports arms to many countries including Rebel Forces in Africa,South and Central America during the Cold War.As well as exporting they also seem to enjoy using them against neighbouring civilians and cities!!!

Answer 6

Most statistics claim that Israel is around the top 5th or 6th in importing arms and around the 9th to the 12th in exporting arms. I guess it varies from year to year and what you count in your measurements. Israel has some very nice machine guns that are bought throughout the developing world.

Other top arms exporters include: USA, Britian, Russia, China, Brazil, Canada, and France. They all come before Israel.

Answer 7

I always thought Israel was a net importer of arms - not an exporter.

Answer 8

Do they sell arms to the Arabs?? Isrealis are the least to sell arms to terrorists. They need the arms for themselves to defend against the Arabs. Since your first sentence is completely ridicolous, il assume the rest of your argument is. =)

Answer 9

with the aid of "Palestinians" you're no longer concerning Israeli Arabs who use Israeli license plates, and as in the U.S. each and each state has its own license plates. And in the event that they could use the comparable license plates, the Palestinians could declare that Israel is attempting to annex their Palestine. And apartheid refers back to the reality that Israel exists as a separate state.

Answer 10

I thought the USA supplied Israel with most of it's arms - a nice little earner.
